Suzuki Boulevard C50 C90 M50 M109 Clutch Replacement

- čas přidán 30. 07. 2015
- This covers the clutch replacement and upgrade on all the Suzuki 805cc v-twin engines and most other boulevards along with most other cruisers. It's not a hard job at all on most bikes, requiring no special tools and just an hour of your time plus supplies. It saves you a good $200+ over taking it to a dealer for the work in labor alone. Amazon is an excellent source of parts and once you know what to do it's an easy job.

Pretty good guide for clutch replacement. The only thing that bothers me is what you called a "bushing" , the thing you hang the gasket onto, is called a "dowel pin". Dowel pins are really important because they insure exact tolerance for alignment of engine parts. I installed a transmission once and forgot to install the dowel pins, and the alignment of the engine and transmission were off by and it destroyed the pressure plate. I don't mean to be nit picky, just thought the viewers would like to know there's a purpose for those two little thingamabobs--don't lose them or forget to put them back on.
Not to be nitpicky back, but I'm a viewer and I couldn't have cared less what he called them so long as he showed what needed to be done right and I didn't have to figure out what he was saying in Bengali like most videos for metric bikes. 🥔
As usual... Very informative, great camera shots, and clear verbal instruction on all procedures. Makes me feel as though even I can do it... Ride safe!!!
Took about 2 hours from prep work (getting tools laid out and oil soaking plates) to putting fresh oil back in. Granted I had to take a trip to Napa in between that lol. Appreciate the tutorial, I'm not very mechanically inclined but I made light work of this project! Runs like a different bike! Thank you so much brother!
Thank you for your time and helping all of us ,I appreciate it more than you will ever know!! Thanks again Buddy.
Probably the best clutch video man. Patient and detailed. Thanks for this.
Awesome ! I have a 2006 C90 with around 40k - 30k of the miles was in the past 18 months - I do a majority of my maintenance "12 years as an aircraft mechanic, not much I can't figure out lol" this video saved me a ton of time - thanks !
Good Morning to you, first let me say I'm very glad to see you taking a ride along the beach. I saw your video and you sounded very happy to be "in the saddle" again. Hopefully you will not have any long term discomfort with the meds and will continue with a clear head. I wanted to thank you for the video on the C50 clutch replacement. I have a 2007 C50 , and after watching your video decided to tackle this myself. I order parts from Suzuki House, online and paid about $160.00 total. The fix was straightforward and relatively painless! It took longer to clean the gasket off the housing and mainframe then any other part of the job. I then adjusted the clutch per your second video and all is well. I rode it yesterday for a "shakedown" and it feels great. (South Louisiana 61 degrees). While I have always been mechanically inclined, your video and this job made me mechanically confident. Stay healthy, keep riding and we hope to watch more videos. And as we say in Louisiana laissez les bons temps rouler
.
Great Vid I ordered the same parts and they arrived in 2 days from 3 separate sellers as well! worked on it for about 5 hours this evening lol not sure why it took me so long but its good to go now thanks for all your Helpful Vids!
Thanks a lot for a great video. I bought a 87 intruder 750 last year. Thanks to you I will attempt changing the clutch myself.
Thanks knew it was simple just never worked on a big bike like that,just bought it 3weeks ago leaving the motocross races got on it a little and motor started reving higher,now will watch clutch adjustment!
Hi Bryan. This is one old video, but I just bought me a 2005 M50 last week. This is one of the BEST how to vids I've ever watched. I was looking for how to adjust the clutch but ended up watching this all the way through. I've always been dreading the time I'll need to replace the clutch plates. (I have a Triumph Rocket III, too), but after this, I see there is no need to fear! Thanks you, Thank You for that!!! Now, you mentioned that the next video will be how to adjust the clutch so off to that. While I was lubing the clutch cable the clutch end came out of the slot so I've already been under the covers to put that back in. That little adjuster thingy looks scary, though, but I'm sure that the next video you did after this one will take care of that! Cheers!!!
I LOVE this video. Thank you for taking the time to do it!
Awesome video! I was going to bring it to the mechanic to do it being I never did a clutch before. Didn't realize it was this simple! Thanks again!
Love the cardboard bolt trick!! In definitely using this from now on! Thanks brother
Make sure you don't have any asshole friends switch the bolt placements for "shits n' giggles", while you're doing this.
Wow. Awesome video, esp. for an unskilled mechanic like me. I'm no longer worried about an expensive clutch job. DYI for sure.
Thanks!
50 minutes and thankful ... now want to buy a motorcycle thanks for the video
Thank you for this video!!!
My m50 is starting to slip going to 4th to 5th..
You cleared up alot for me!
Great video my fellow Bully rider. Thanks for the lesson.
Would be nice if you did a full parts list for this
If you jump on any Suzuki dealer website, you’ll find the parts lists and the exploded diagrams of everything on the bike. I recently did this for my M90..
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS. MADE THE JOB SO MUCH EASIER!
This is a really good video!!! Thanks for providing such great information!
Thank you so much for a simple straight forward video instruction on the clutch repair. I have a 2007 C50 with 38k miles and have been noticing on 40 to 50 mph, if I have to accelerate in to a passing lane, I hear..then feel the acceleration. I feel like it is a slipping clutch and only in the upper gears. You address this very concern at the beginning of the video, so I believe it will relieve this issue. I really like this bike and don't want to trade it out or spend a fortune at a bike shop. I will do this repair and let you know how it turns out. Also, thanks for the clutch adjustment video, a nice finish to this repair.
Was the clutch the issue and did the replacement fix it???
Thank you for this video. My father and I successfully replaced my clutch with this as a guide.
A most excellent presentation. Thank you.!!
Great video, thank you so much for posting it!
You did this video 4 years ago? I thought you did mainly FJR1300 content. Awesome! I was rear ended last year October on my FJR1300 and so I figured I would try another bike, of which I also liked back in 2005. I just bought a 2006 M109 Boulevard. I'm glad to see I can still come to you for advice. Very cool.
Really great video. Thanks for doing this. I have a 2008 M50 with only 3k on it, but still good information.
Thanks for the video. It is nice to see it done before doing it myself.
Welcome!
Thanks,I will put the new plates into the windshield washer jug that I cut the side out of and soak them in that while tearing it down.I just bought mine 2 months ago and noticed it slipping more in top gear when I apply throttle.Haven't done a clutch change in years.Thanks again.
Thanks for the vid...pretty much like a Shadow 1100....c90 started slipping today and wanted to see what it looked like on the Boulevards....thanks again...cheers!
Golden personally bud, love the video.
You my friend are a life saver, thank you kind sir
Dude, you have to be the best explainer of how to maintained a Suzuki Boulevard c50,
you're a goat for this video!! thanks i wish i would've seen this before taking my bike to the shop...
I appreciate the informative video. Thank you kindly.
I was just getting ready to call a few shops ty this is getting done on my jack with my tools and $200 in good whiskey.
Awesome video brotha!
Nice video , good use for that cardboard !👍🏽
Very interesting thanks for sharing
Great video👍🏾
I was thinking clutch jobs would be quit a bit more complex than this. Thanks for the video Bryan !
Robnord1 I don't BS - super easy :)
Thank you so much for this!
Great quality video, I've been looking to cut up the hear and bobberize it like yours, do you have a video on that?
I went with the Barnett Performance Products Complete Kevlar Clutch Kit 303-70-10033. Also comes with replacement springs. Easy install.
How did you know that this kit would be compatible with a Suzuki boulevard c50? Aren't these kits bike-specific?
I know this vid is years old. But I just did this repair this AM. And wanted to take a moment to show my appreciation. It went very smoothly. It didn't take under an hour... but it also didn't take me days to finish because I didn't have the proper tools - like a torque wrench.
Thanks again for posting. I had a great ride this AM back up to N Scottsdale while being down and out for four months.
Next up - clutch cable adjustment. Yes, I watched the vid on that and ready to go tomorrow.
Thx again. All the best.
Good info.thank you
Great video
Becareful there are some differences depending on the year of the bike. Im doing my clutch currently waiting for new barnett parts. On my 2004 C90 I don't believe the fibre plates are different thicknesses, but I will check the new ones. Also the last fibre plate goes in a different slot than rest of the fibre plates and when replacing the clutch pressure plate there is a small hole in the plate that is supposed to line up with a triangle on the clutch basket. I have a manual. Take pictures before you disassemble, always nice to have for reference.
I worked for Honda. Suzuki may be the same. If you mix the side cover bolts simply put a few in and notice the distance from the bolt head to the cover, that is putting them in the holes till they stop before you screw them in, if one is say 1/4 inch out they will all be 1/4 inch out. This way you know you have them in the right hole. If it is too short it will be down against the cover, too long it will be out farther than the rest. I enjoy your videos. Norman
great video
hey man im zach, i live out in ocala, youre video is very useful
Thanks man
very good video, I will do it myself, I would like to know how to put new coolant to my m50
Thanks for the video bud. I will be changing my clutch soon.
Have you changed the drive shaft spine gear or U joint? That is my next job.
Great video, good advice. Thank you for quick editing. Denver CO here. Where do you ride?
Thanks soooo much. I have a chattering M109R when its cold, so I think I may give it a go!
I have the same bike same issue, what year and milage is your bike?
Great video, and very informative and easy to follow! Do you have the links for this exact same rekluse clutch and the springs? I didn't see then listed in the description with all the other parts you've added to your bike. Thank you!
Thanks for your videos on your Suzuki Boulevard. I love watching and getting the confidence to do my own work on my 08 M50. I brought my bike a year ago, and I've noticed when I start my bike with clutch depressed and in neutral the bike jerks forward. Would you have any idea or suggestions why it does that? I hope I so I can attempt to make the repair myself. Keep up the great videos.
Nice job! Super easy compared to the Enfield, I swear! Nice and tidy though, it all looks good B-)
Great video Sir. I’m about to pull my vz1500 to pieces and replace everything. The bike had done 13,000 km. I think the previous owner abused the pike somewhat…
👍👍👍nice bike.
Hi great video and really informative, unfortunately whilst doing the 4 plate cover bolts to 7lb /ft one snapped and I'm now left with most of the bolt stuck in the hole. Any tips? I am in the UK and used EBC springs but the bolt didn't like even such low torque
You really know your stuff guy. I don't even understand how a clutch works. How did you know you needed to fix it?
Clever idea re the cardboard to hold the clutch cover bolts.
TWO, I was hoping that your video would show how to change the gear shift spring. Do you have one that shows that? I took off the cover on the opposite side of the clutch. That created a gob of work with no access to replace the spring. So this time I'm searching to see if going through the clutch cover provides access to the spring. But I did not see it in your video. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have the 2009 C50 tour.
Thanks for the video. I'm looking to buy a late model C50 so this info was valuable. I have read that the Suzuki factory had not lubricated (greased) the final gear to the back wheel properly and therefore there have been complaints of worn out and chopped-up final gear at the wheel. Any truth to this factory mistep?)
Make sure your order includes SIX friction plates with smaller amount of friction fibre material and ONE with thicker fibre material. I forgot to order the one with the thicker friction material, had to wait an extra three days to finish.
nice video
I just found out your the same guy that is susbribed at cigar obsession we have the same bike love it
Watching this even though I'm gonna get help to do this job
TwoWheelObsession I should have read your description before asking my last question. So I will rephrase my question, is this a clutch repair to a hydraulic clutch?
Hi there, can you make a list of replacement parts and the sites where you can find them? I have a 2016 M50, Cheers and thanks.
When does the springs go that come with the kit? I have a c90
Great job......I'm looking to change my back fender.....Did you make a vid when you converted your bike into a bobber?
A whole playlist of them...
you did this who job barefoot hats off to you lol
Absolutely love your videos. So informative. OCALA FL here. Question: I ordered all the replacement parts OEM from Revzilla. All six of the clutch plates are the same part number and thickness. One said one of the plates ( the one again the engine) is thicker. Is that important or do I use the six new plate I was sent, or just don’t replace the thick plate in the clutch now? HELP. LOL. stay at home and wash your hands.
He addresses this in the video, watvh it again
Nice video, you take a job most would be afraid to tackle and show us it's not rocket science, even though a shop charges rocket scientist labor fees.
TwoWheelObsession was this repair done to a C90 with hydraulic clutch?
where did you get your oem gasket?
can you get me the exact link to the kit you bought I need the exact kit you have if so that would save me a headache and a half
Isn’t the torque spec different now with stronger springs? Or with longer springs in the event?
for some reason I cannot find that Barnett for my 2014 m109r at amazon, not any other website. Any suggestions? Thank you
TwoWheelObsession what is your clutch cover Torque too?
hi what type or size of torch rench is need and is the lb 7ft for the bolts
Your videos are awesome. Makes me want to just do in upgrade on a Honda magna 750. Think it's worth it?
JOHN NINNERAM If it needs it, why not!
Good point. Lol
I have the service manual, which does not say to use gasket sealer, however other vids- all of them i have watched use sealer. What is the reason for not using sealer here?
Might be a dumb question but this would be the same for a 03 Intruder 800?? Its time for me to change mine too lol
Did this take care of your slipping? I did my twice already on my s50.still slips when really hot on in alot of traffic stop and go, this time I'm going to change my steel plates
I need to take a starter out of a M50 2007 Suzuki Boulevard what do I got to take off?
If you don’t mind, where did you get that short pan? I want one lol... did you get it from Amazon?
I got the same one from Advance Auto.
Hey man, what did the bike sounds like for you to know it was the clutch? I am chasing a problem with my M50 that I can't figure out. You can watch my video for the sound it makes. I have the clutch out and the bike in gear and can still turn the rear wheel and hold the clutch catch still...
I know this is a LONG shot but do you know what size the clutch sleeve hub but is?? I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find the size?
I wonder if Rekluse Auto clutch can be installed on C 50 ?
First off, great video! I changed out my clutch without much struggle due to your video. I have a question for you though. A mechanic said changing it would get rid of the whirring/whining noise my bike has when in 1-3 gear. It did fix that. When the bike is in gear it makes a loud and rather embarrassing amount of whirring/whining noise. When I press the clutch lever it goes away except if I'm slowing to a complete stop then it still makes a little noise. Any ideas? Thanks
+Ryan Carey That's transmission not clutch
+TwoWheelObsession crap. I was afraid of that. I don't have the money around to get my trans fixed.
Hi, will ne the same for the 2004 suzuki boulevard c50, ? the 2004 is actually vl800. Do u have the part numbers or links?
Do you actually need to have a jack to do the clutch replacement?! I have everything else but don’t have a jack is it fine to do the clutch without jacking up the bike
Iv got a c90 and my bike has a hydraulic clutch. Does that mean I won't need to adjust the clutch after iv changed the plates? I'd think it would be self adjusting
Do you have a link to where you bought the friction plates and steel plates and the gasket?
he got all his stuff threw amazon
I followed this process on my 2018 c90 and have no resistance when puling my clutch level. What could be the problem?
Do you have the links for the clutch kit on Amazon?
Hello there! I have a M109r2 2008 model with only 17,000 km. My tires are new - a month old. My rear tire slips/spins when starting from stop position. I have to release the clutch very slowly and carefully as I'm afraid to fall. This may have happened 3-4 time in total this month. Would you be able to advise what to do? I have been riding since the last 13 odd years. Thanks
Too much power 😜
